What happens here

Align the wood piece with the freshly drilled pocket holes against another wood piece to form the desired frame joint, typically a corner. Use a Kreg clamping tool, or similar face clamp, to firmly secure both pieces together, ensuring they are flush and stable. This prevents shifting during fastening. With the pieces clamped, use the cordless drill (with a square-drive bit for Kreg screws) to drive Kreg pocket hole screws through the pre-drilled angled holes into the adjacent wood piece. Repeat this process for all necessary joints to complete the wood frame assembly.

Goal: Securely join wood pieces to form a frame using pocket hole screws.
